Blogging about current events a real world example

In a recent post (Blogging tip of the week: Blog about current media events) I talked about the merits of blogging about current news and media events, well, to show everyone how good this method works, I have setup a brand new blog (Currently only four days old)

So what have I decided to blog about?

Since the biggest media event at the moment is the Spice Girls reunion tour, which kicked off Sunday night in Vancouver Canada, I decided that was the best current example I could use to emphasise the advantages of blogging about current media event.

So Saturday I registered SpiceTour.net and spent a few hours that day getting my community server blog up and running. Anyway please check it out the address again is http://SpiceTour.net  why not put your comments about the Spice Girls tour and help to prove that blogging about current media events is a great idea.

 

 

With the Spice Girls are only on tour until March 2008 this blog has a limited life span, unless they continue to release songs and tour, one note if I was really serious about trying to make this the number one Spice Girls Tour blog I would have purchased an expiring domain name so I could take advantage of the old websites Google Page Rank, with that said this new domain name will be perfectly surfice to prove my point. 

I will be posting weekly regular traffic reports so you can see how this real life experiment is going.

Google Analytics for the past 4 days is as follows, not too bad for a blog that is so young, lets see how thing go over the next few months.

To get ahead you must think ahead. Great idea with the Spice Girls. That'll bring a load of traffic.

The Spice Girls tour kicked off in my home town of Vancouver on a very snow and cold night - I wonder what the ladies thought of the Canadian winter??
